I started blogging years ago as a weight loss tool. I lost and gained a lot of weight over the years but more importantly I gained a lot of friends who still read my blog! Thru my 12 years of blogging, life has changed quite a bit for me! I'm now disabled, living with my parents and one of my adult sons and I'm now Nana to Cosette and Oliver, born 3 months apart. Life looks different for me now so I wanted my blog to look different. Welcome to the Nana Life.

My People - Cosette, Austin, Oliver, Cody, me & Ryan. Just think, had I not lived, these people wouldn't be on the planet. They are my whole heart!

I have been married twice - once for 14 years, once for 14 months. I'm a great wife, I just don't pick great husbands.I'm single and no longer looking. I'm not sure that it's God's will for me to find another husband... in the meantime, I just appreciate the friends I've made along the way.I have chronic back pain due to degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, spondylolisthesis, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis. I have granulomas - scar tissue- in my lungs that causes frequent bronchitis. I have high blood pressure and tachycardia. I have nerve damage in my lower legs. I have post-ablation syndrome which causes evil gut pain among other things. I'm much too young to feel this dang old.God has a plan. That's what this blog is all about.P.S. I have cats.

About Me

I am Scarlett O'Hara on the day of the 12 Oaks Barbeque holding on to the bedpost while Mammy tightens her corset.
I am Scarlett O'Hara as she flees Atlanta for Tara... facing fire and hardship and uncertainty and fear.
I am Scarlett O'Hara as she puts her hopes all in one man... and finds that Rhett disappoints her and leaves her brokenhearted.
I am Scarlett O'Hara as she lays weeping on the steps and decides to go home. Tomorrow is another day.
